IMHO - If you have a good, young, up and coming coach, and you are looking for a head coach....doesn't it make sense to appease your fans and indicate that you are talking to all kinds of these good, young, up and coming coaches?
Might be some truth in the sense that Miami is interested, they would be stupid if they weren't, but I just can't see Bo taking multiple steps back to go to Miami. Seriously, he is coaching a team this year that in his third year was at one point the talk of the nation and the national championship. I know those convos were way too soon but still...to be in that talk is far above where Miami is.
The only way he would consider this is that age old addage of not moving to another school in the same conference. He wants the OSU job and no one in their right mind can fault him for that.
